Clove buds are intensely aromatic flower buds valued in herbal and culinary traditions for their warming, spicy-sweet flavour and broad health benefits. Used for centuries in digestion, dental care, and respiratory support, cloves are a pantry staple that straddle food, wellness, and ritual use.
- Traditionally used to relieve nausea, bloating, gas, and digestive sluggishness
- Antimicrobial, antioxidant, and warming circulatory stimulant
- Folk remedy for coughs, sore throats, and toothache pain (mild numbing)
- Used in oral care, immune blends, chai, fire cider, and natural deworming formulas
- High in eugenol — one of the most potent natural antimicrobial compounds
Tea: Simmer 1–3 whole cloves in a cup of water for 5–10 mins. Combine with ginger, cinnamon, or fennel for a digestive or chai-style brew.
Infusions: Steep in fire cider, immune syrup, or holiday punch blends. Adds warmth, aroma, and preservative qualities.
Oral care: Place 1 clove near a sore tooth or gum for numbing relief, or use cooled clove tea as a mouthwash.
Cooking: Add to broths, curries, baked goods, or pickles. Remove whole buds before serving. Excellent in chai and mulled drinks.
Potpourri & steam: Combine with citrus peel, cinnamon, and rose petals for aromatic steam, sachets, or winter simmer pots.
Clove buds are pungent and potent — a little goes a long way. Traditionally used in both Western and Eastern medicine, they’re loved today for their warming quality, sweet aroma, and versatility. Customers use them in digestion blends, chai, tooth powders, simmer pots, and even DIY hair rinses. Best stored whole in an airtight jar, away from light and heat.
Not suitable for children, cats, or in pregnancy in large amounts. Do not ingest essential oil unless professionally supervised. Whole clove buds preferred for food and herbal prep over oil.
